Rent Van Gogh's Bedroom On Airbnb

by Mindy Yang

For the first time in North America, all three versions of Van Gogh’s famous painting of his bedroom in Arles, France, will be displayed in Chicago along with some of his other work. To celebrate the occasion, the Art Institute of Chicago has recreated the room and put it up for rent on Airbnb for just 10USD.

“This room will make you feel like you’re living in a painting,” reads the ad on Airbnb. “It’s decorated in a Post-Impressionist style, reminiscent of Southern France and times gone by. Its furniture, bright colors, and artwork will give you the experience of a lifetime.”

Tired of wasting so much money each month and commuting for 3 hours each day, Brian and Starla Sullivans decided to move into "Big Bertha". The Sullivans and their three children moved into a 40-foot-long converted school bus that they bought for $2,800. After a year and the conversion cost of $30,000, the Washington state family had a new place to call home.
